BZ#2339388 (beesu) is now fixed.

On my long-time running Rawhide instance, early Saturday my time, there
were 227 non-link entries in /usr/sbin.

As of now Monday (and with the fix for beesu) there are only 56
non-links left in /usr/sbin.

Not sure how useful it is to list the outstanding ones, but in case it
*is* useful here they are:
